Used Pentacon MC 29mm f2.8 | Black | U8

The Pentacon auto 29mm f/2.8 MC is a manual-focus wide-angle prime lens built for the M42 screw mount, produced in East Germany over a roughly two-decade run from 1970 to 1991. Its 7-element, 7-group multi-coated optical design and close 0.25m minimum focus distance suit it to environmental portraits, medium-wide compositions, and close-up work. An all-metal barrel with automatic diaphragm coupling and a 6-blade aperture reflects the durable mechanical construction characteristic of Pentacon's SLR lens lineup. As the direct successor to the Meyer-Optik Görlitz Orestegon 29mm f/2.8, it remains a distinctive and affordable wide-angle option for photographers and filmmakers working with adapted digital mirrorless systems.
